Description

I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang (Warner Brothers, 1932).
Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Paul Muni delivers one of his best screen
appearances as James Allen, a man with dreams of becoming an
architect, who suddenly finds himself falsely convicted of robbery
and sentenced to ten years on a chain gang. The novel upon which
this film was based was so influential that it led to the
abolishment of the chain gang system of punishment in US prisons.
This dramatic card depicts one of the gruesome tortures Muni is
forced to endure. The card has two pinholes in the center of the
background, just under the film's title. This is a rare offering
from one of the best, and most important, pictures of the 1930s.
